Child Dedication Sunday

What an exciting time! Each quarter, Believers Church takes time to dedication our new additions to Christ in front of family and friends.

What does it mean to dedicate a child?

To dedicate a child is truly a commentment on the part of the parent(s) to rear the child in the ways of God and under His sovereignty. Dedication is the parent’s commitment, before God and their church community, to raise their child according to God’s Word and for His glory.

The goal of the Child Dedication Celebration is to help parents recognize that they are stewards of God’s gift of children and provide an opportunity for family, friends and church community to come alongside parents as they begin laying a firm foundation of leading their child into a life-long relationship with Jesus Christ.

In Luke 2:22-25 it says that as a baby, Mary and Joseph dedicated Jesus. We also read in Deuteronomy 6:4-7 that parents are commanded to first love God so their children will follow in their footsteps. A child dedication is both a parental commitment to Christ and before the church to bless and guide their child(ren) for the glory of God.
